The region has\u00a0many helpful research repositories for anyone studying the past and one of those is the Aberdeen Room Archives and Museum.<\/a> Established in 1987, this bustling heritage group connects people to the Harford County community\u2019s past through \u201cactive learning as an educational and research resource.\u201d<\/p>\n

The growing research collection with over 5,000 original items will help anyone investigating Aberdeen and Harford county history. Published works, bound newspaper volumes, photographs, maps, scrapbooks, clipping files, and more are available. Couple that with the extremely knowledgeable, friendly staff, and you have the perfect place for someone inquiring about genealogy or the area\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

One of the major strengths is the newspaper collection. Bound volumes of the “Harford Democrat and Aberdeen Enterprise” (1919 to 1986) are available. This weekly newspaper provided excellent coverage of southern Harford County.<\/p>\n

The Aberdeen Enterprise was established in 1891, according to a history written by Charlotte Cronin. \u201cIn 1919, the Aberdeen Enterprise was purchased by J. Wilmer Cronin and Earle Jacobs. Later the two purchased the Harford Democrat and the two papers were consolidated. In time Mr. Jacobs retired, Mr. Cronin continued as the owner, and years later\u00a0his son, Bill, took over the business. In 1952, officials at Aberdeen Proving Group arranged to have a\u00a0section added, the Aberdeen Proving Ground Observer. In 1982, the paper was sold to the Susquehanna Publishing Company and merged with the Record.<\/p>\n

The Aberdeen Room welcomes visitors to research and enjoy materials, share personal stories and memorabilia, discuss topics of interest, and ask questions. And there they have a great group of subject matter experts, eager to help patrons investigating some subject in the area.<\/p>\n

Be sure to visit the Aberdeen Room when you want to learn more about the community’s heritage.<\/p>\n
